The goal of this study was to characterize the errors that students made when solving HOTS-type arithmetic problems using Newman's approach. This is a descriptive qualitative study. Subjects were chosen from the eighth-grade students at SMP N 31 Palembang, with 16 students, ten of whom were males, and six female. The four stages of the research are preparation, implementation, data analysis, and generating conclusions. Data was gathered through exam questions, interviews, and documentation. The Miles and Huberman models were utilized in data analysis procedures such as data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and data verification. The data from the research will be examined using the Newman approach, which includes five evaluation indicators: reading, comprehension, transformation, process skill, and writing answers (encoding). According to the findings of the investigation, the reasons that cause student errors are a lack of motivation in learning, student inaccuracy, a lack of ability to solve HOTS problems, a lack of comprehension in performing mathematical computations, and a lack of grasp of the concept.
